Arrived around 6 pm last night after a 3 hour flight, 30 minute bus ride and a 3 minute boat-ride onto Sonaisali Island, the only way you can leave. A little bit resorty but very relaxing so we spent the morning dipping various parts of our anatomy into the Pacific, browning the white bits and slurping cocktails a la poolside.
Oh, last night we brought a frog in an auction (yes a real one!) to take part in the International Frog Race. Kermit's name had already been taken so we opted for 'Tadpole'. Unfortunately the lazy amphibian didn't hop more than about 2 feet so we did not win. A frog called Kermit did win. However, we did meet a nice NZ couple who won 2nd prize and, as they were leaving here, gave us their voucher. Hence the horse-riding we have booked for Tuesday.
Apparently England have lost some footy match or other. Who cares when you have sun, sea and sand in your undies. Tomorrow we plan to go into Nadi, the local town to search for cannibals. The island has its own mongoose population and some very weird birds..and some with feathers...
Looks nice, does it not...
Going back out to enjoy the tropics. Adios.
Paul & Trish
Browning nicely,

I missed most of the footie playing at the Rainham Folk and Beer day raising monies for RNLI. I missed the penalty that Frank Lampard also missed.
Ron Kenten slipped away peacefully yesterday morning, and yes, I am leading up to a joke. The Sheppey Crossing opened yesterday, and I took Marc, Laurie and my father over it. On the return journey Dad nodded off in the back next to Marc, prompting Marc to say "Not two Granddads in one day!". Well, it was funny at the time.
Les Dawson joke on telly yesterday:
I went to the doctors to ask for some sleeping tablets for the wife. "Why?" asks the doctor. "Beacause she's woken up."
